Samsung has been teasing a Tizen-based prototype phones for quite awhile now, but it has finally launched an honest-to-God smartphone with the OS: the Samsung Z. Tizen is Samsung's attempt at a homegrown OS (first featured on its Galaxy Gear smartwatch), though it developed the software jointly with Intel. The Samsung Z will feature a 720P HD, AMOLED display with a quad-core, 2.3GHz CPU (from Intel we presume) with 2GB RAM, 16GB memory, an 8GB camera, a heartrate sensor and fingerprint scanner. Expect to see the same design language featured in its Android-based Galaxy S devices, especially in the app drawer, notification tray and homescreen widgets. Samsung has also promised a "slim, angular design," and will launch it in black and gold on June 3rd at its Tizen developer conference in San Francisco. It'll be available in Russia and other markets shortly thereafter -- expect more details like the price soon.
